Thr properties of titanium make it so much btter for things like chassiss etc than other materials like aluminium/steel. Mainly being able to make the whole chassis for 360 VERY VERY light, and very strong. The same style as ploughbots chassis. I had alot more problems with my steel version than the titanium one. Its flexi too -which actually very helpful.
I think its expensive, a pain in the rear to weld, and difficult to repair in the field.
my opinion.
Thanks for all of the help.
Can you cut it with a hacksaw and/or jigsaw?? If so what type of blades should it use??
Thanks

I used a jigsaw on some grade 2 2mm thick with a brand new metal cutting blade (it was an expensive one). After a 600mm cut the blade teeth had melted and my jigsaw nearly blew. Managed it mind you.
I would look at getting it laser cut if you can. Nice and simple, not too expensive as far as i know and it will be precise.
I agree with gary, I have always used an angle grinder for straight simple peices, or if its thin enough the bandsaw. Anything complicated i just get laser-cut.
Leo -I dont find it difficult to weld at all, alot easier than aluminium.
Did you happen to get all that titanium of ebay (about 15 sheets) by any chance lol
he got it off me lol
will - a hacksaw is fine, just keep it cool.
didnt know you had any 1.6?
oh- thought you were on about gary. But i do have some 1.6, not much though

Just because one is less difficult than the other doesnt make it any easier. To do it right that is.
